12 Hour build underway as new fan innovations take shape

ADDITIONS to the fan experience in place for this year's Repco Bathurst 12 Hour are under construction on Mount Panorama.

The first of several new shade structures have been erected on the spectator viewing mounts along Pit Straight, adjacent to the iconic Mount Panorama pit building.

They will allow fans watching from the bottom of the Mountain to watch in comfort whether the sun is shining or if Bathurst's notoriously unpredictable weather returns.

Tickets remain on sale for the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour, Australia's International Enduro, this year with fans encouraged to buy online prior to the event to avoid the queues at the circuit during the event.

Tickets can be purchased online at this link now.

Paddock access remains free with all GA tickets purchased for the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour, allowing fans to access the stars and cars of the race up close and personal throughout the event.

Meanwhile, the last few remaining campground spaces are now on sale as the campsites open for the event fill to capacity.

A handful of sites are still available however are expected to sell out, with a record number of sites already purchased pre-event.

The spectator shade are one of several new additions to the fan experience in place this year.

Improvements to the spectator facilities at The Chase will see a bar, food and drink stands and a big screen in place for fans watching at Australia’s fastest corner.

An additional big screen will also be in place on the inside of Turn 1, Hell Corner, for those watching from the spectator hill at the end of pit straight.

An additional big screen will also be in place in a revised Merchandise and Food area within Harris Park, while additional toilet facilities will be in place throughout key areas of the venue.

Water misting zones will be in place in Harris Park and other key areas throughout the venue to allow fans to cool off.

Free water / drinking fountains will also be available throughout the precinct across the event period.

A revised and improved rooftop bar area will also be introduced this year and will again be accessible by all event patrons, with the pit and paddock area access remaining free to all ticketholders.

Full-field autograph sessions will take place on Thursday at the Track to Town parade in Russell Street, and at the circuit on Saturday prior to the final stages of Qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

Off-track activations will grow this year with an array of displays, demonstrations, and activations to be on show in Harris Park throughout the event, including the iconic Chemical Guys Rides & Coffee.
